Continuous Amsteel Loops w/ Descender Rings

Hey Y'all,

I have some amsteel on the way to make some continuous loops to replace the stock rope in our ENO DNs. My daughters and I all use rings & straps for suspension. Should I build the loops so they pass through the rings and the rings move freely or would it be better lark's head the rings to the loop?

Thanks y'all. I was wondering if keeping the rings aligned made a difference. I'd already thought of attaching the rings to the loop before sliding the loop through the channel in the hammock. Didn't think of a prusik though...great idea!

I'm pretty new to all this but I went rings and loops too. I went back and forth on putting the loop through the ring. I keep them separate. One, to keep the rings together(as I didn't know how well it would work otherwise) and two, so I could take it all apart as I change up my suspension.
I have been using a larkshead to connect the rings and loops, but I like the idea of using the prusik.
